Stadiums for Qatar world cup bid 2022

What if there was an uprising in UAE and the Shiekhs got told to do one. Assets frozen etc and the people hold them accountable. City won't have a pot to piss in. Wishful thinking. Then the same thing happened to utd after a Qatar buy-out.

So the BBC News Website is reporting that FIFA have won the war with Brazil to enforce sales of alchol in Stadia during WC2014 (its part of the culture, nothing to do with sponsors) I must say I am looking forward to them taking on the Super Oil Rich, Dry state of Qatar.

Only going to be one winner in that battle.

Yeah, I agree, Saudi will probably win that one

A complete disaster for FIFA at the moment. When is practical for them to actually hold it?

Fifa says 2022 Qatar World Cup will not be held in January or February "out of respect for the Winter Olympics

December? March?

[RichC]

Which December? March isn't really practical as most leagues will be heading into the tail end of their seasons and you need some sort of break between league football and the start of international competition.

Really poor decision awarding Qatar with the World Cup

Money talks I guess.

Christ, what a complete balls up this has been. Just hand back the bungs and give the tournament to Australia or something, this is a shambles.

[RichC]

It should have gone to Australia in the first place.

It made perfect sense so naturally it didn't happen.

Seems that Blatter is planning for it to be held in November and December - Christ knows what that means for the leagues especially in Europe.

Even by Blatter's / FIFA's standards this something else.
